Southern Recipes Inspired by The Help
Classic Southern recipes are featured in The Help, both the movie and the novel, and are as much a part of the action as Aibileen, Minny, Skeeter, and Hilly. Here are a few of the featured foods. See an interview with the author.
Lucky Black-eyed Pea Salad
Constantine used to make Skeeter’s family black-eyed peas every New Year’s Day, and even made each family member eat one in
front of her, just to ensure good luck would find its way to the once-plantation. Don’t wait for New Year’s to make this delicious
side dish; like the heroines of The Help, we all know we could use a little luck year-round.
